Cliff Richard, born Harry Rodger Webb on 14 October 1940, is a British singer and actor whose career has spanned over six decades. Rising to fame in the late 1950s as a rock and roll star alongside his band the Shadows, he helped shape the British music scene before the Beatles era with hits like Move It, often cited as Britain's first authentic rock and roll song. Richard achieved major success with over 21 million singles sold in the UK and more than 250 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. He holds records for chart longevity, including having UK Top 20 hits in six consecutive decades and being the only artist with a UK Number 1 single in five decades. Known for classics such as Devil Woman, We Don't Talk Anymore, Mistletoe and Wine, and Saviour's Day, Richard also enjoyed a film and television career and remains a beloved figure in the UK and internationally. Despite limited US chart success, his influence endures in the UK, Europe, Australia, and beyond.
